Next week, on Tuesday evening, I’ll be performing spoken word at the notorious Northcote Social Club as part of the launch for Going Down Swinging No. 29. I’ll be performing about three pieces at around the 8.30pm mark, to be preceded by a number of amazing spoken wordsters including Josephine Rowe, who always leaves me listening to the sound of my heartbeat, followed in full regalia by Sean. W. Whelan (accompanied by his musical collaborators The Interim Lovers), whose latest poetry book Tattooing the Surface of the Moon I’ll be reviewing on this blog soon.
You are an inspiring for all inspiring artists and poets, bravo girl ;)
ReplyDeleteWhy does everything happen in Melbourne? Can't wait for 29 to arrive in the mail (at least I get a postal service in Sydney!).
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like such a fabulous night. I really hope I can get there.
ReplyDeleteare you on the overload cd maxine? obviously i won't be at "going down swinging" (love that title) but i'd love to pick up a copy if yer on there...
ReplyDeleteJason: I can't believe I didn't plug the fact that I'll be on the CD. Yes, I will be! My poem 'Carrying the World' will appear on the CD.
ReplyDeleteMark: Yeah, there is an awful lot going down in Melbourne poetry wise, especially since the whole 'UNESCO City of Literature' bid was successful last year. Time for a relocation?
Tiggy: Hope to see you there.
Lorraine: Thankyou for your support, as always.
